> Unfortunately, it seems most functional languages are built on infrastructure that was intended for procedural languages But what about Haskell and Scheme? They’re the first two languages that come to mind when I think functional. I think all those other languages are built on existing infrastructures like .Net or JVM because infrastructure is one of the biggest barriers for any language. I’d love to see a general purpose platform designed for functional languages, but I don’t even know what that would look like.
